Candidiasis, Species, Conventional Method, Prevalence.Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the predominant Candida species responsible for Candidiasis in patients across various clinical specimens at our hospital located in Karamsad, Anand. A total of fifty different Candida spp. were isolated from different specimens (Blood, Pus, Urine, Stool, etc.) by conventional methods from the samples received at the Microbiology Laboratory, Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, Anand, India from Jun 2013 to Sept. 2014. Available quantitative parameters was described in terms of frequency and percentages. C. non-albicans was the most common yeast contributing 79.16% of the isolates followed by C.albicans 20.83%. Conclusion: C. non-albicans was the predominant fungus found in this area of Anand.
